海南发布岛内居民消费“零关税”免税店管理试行办法

Core Viewpoint - The Hainan Provincial Government has announced the implementation of the "Zero Tariff" management measures for imported consumer goods and duty-free shops, aimed at regulating the operation of these entities and ensuring the smooth execution of related policies [1][2]. Group 1: Regulatory Framework - The management measures apply to the entities operating "Zero Tariff" imported consumer goods and duty-free shops within Hainan Free Trade Port, which are defined as locations allowing limited value and variety of duty-free shopping for residents [1]. - The qualification for operating "Zero Tariff" consumer goods is subject to licensing management, requiring applicants to have the ability to independently bear civil responsibility, strong management capabilities, sustainable operational capacity, sound financial systems, stable procurement channels, and good credit status [1]. - The number and location of duty-free shops must be approved by the provincial government based on applications from municipal governments, and the operating entities must hold more than 50% of the shares in the "Zero Tariff" consumer goods business [1]. Group 2: Operational Standards - Duty-free shops are required to establish purchase, sales, and inventory records, and must provide real-time sales data to regulatory platforms, along with affixing traceability codes on product packaging [2]. - Identity verification of purchasers must be conducted through methods such as facial recognition and identity document comparison, and shops must implement significant warnings against smuggling and develop internal control management systems to prevent illegal sales [2]. - The measures emphasize the need for enhanced monitoring of market circulation and internet platforms, with strict legal actions against illegal activities such as reselling and unauthorized use of purchase quotas [2].
